Val d’Orcia, also written as Valdorcia, is located south of Crete and extends from the hills south of Siena to Monte Amiata. It comprises grain fields, carefully-cultivated hills, streams and several medieval towns and villages such as Pienza, which was completely rebuilt in the mid 15th century, Montalcino, a hill town well-known for its red Brunello wine and Radicofani.
These municipalities, more Castiglione d'Orcia and San Quirico d'Orcia constitute the "Parco artistico, naturale e culturale della Val d'Orcia" (artistic, natural and cultural Park of the Val d'Orcia).
